Default Recommended seller for Splitter and side skirts

So many forum vendors unsure who to choose from. Anyone with experience ordering CARBON FLASH painted splitter and full length carbon flash painted side skirts (without the 5vm "wings")? Advice appreciated.

I did do a search but looking for actual owner testimonials.

Looking at JWMotorSports right now, price is right but I wanna make sure the parts are quality and side skirts have the silly wings.

ACS Composite has been my go-to company with both my C7 & C8.

I like their front splitter but they dont have full length side skirts.

Edit: found the full length side skirts on ACS. They're nice but almost double the price of the Quinten ones.

Quinten racing side skirts would be good but concerned the carbon flash paint wont match if I get their side skirts and someone else's splitter.

C7 Carbon in San Diego also makes quality parts. I've helped my 2 buddies install their Carbon Flash 5VM front splitters and side skirts on both of their C8's from C7 Carbon and they look great.

I also used them several years ago on our previous C7.... very high quality on those as well.

TBH if I could get full length composite side skirts to match chevy's composite splitter I'd get that. Less upkeep lol.

Yep. So far looks like ACS 1VM or Quinten Racing. Quinten's certainly are more affordable.

If you're looking for OEM-type, you could order from ShopChevyParts. I ordered the low spoiler on mine but decided to order the OEM side skirts from them along with several other items (splash guards, Edge red engine cover, battery tender).

Understood.Opinions always very on added accessories
In my opinion the 5VM style/wing is best look for the C8 Aesthetically.
These skirts definitely give the car a much more exotic look. Flash Carbon matches up perfectly and the compliments are never ending.

Their side skirts arent full length otherwise I would. I hate that the only way to get full length side skirts from chevy is the aero / ground effects thing which REQUIRES a high wing spoiler. I'm going aero delete on my Z51 bc I only want a splitter not a spoiler... so I have to go aftermarket.

Ordered the Quinten side skirts in CF. Will wait till car arrives to figure out if I am adding a splitter.

Really? I must have gotten really lucky, then. I didn't have to order the splitter (it comes with the low spoiler option) but I did order the rocker panel skirts. Just ordered on Friday (10/1) and will deliver on Wednesday (10/6).

Couldnt get past their price tag. Hoping the Quinten ones are solid when they arrive as the price was great for CF painted full length ones.

Have not seen the Quinten products. Once you get them, please post up some pics, including when they are installed.

It took 3.5 months to get my Quentin order. Maybe future production will be faster, but be prepared to wait.

TY for the heads up. I may email their contact to inquire about delivery time frame. If its 3.5 months that may be a deal breaker as I dont want rock chips and might have the car by early Dec if my local dealer delivers on their MSRP promise.

@Korbek I didn’t want wings either and options were limited. If you decide to wait, you can always PPF the rockers and bottom section of the doors.
